The cottage itself is lovely. Very cozy and plenty of space. Just a pity the heating wasnt working , which left us cold . Especially at night. Our only heating was 2 small electric fires. Which we didnt feel safe to leave on during the night , so awoke to a freezing house.

The cottage is lovely we have stayed a few times - suggestions would be a front entrance mat - after beach trips it would help to maintain cleanliness in the cottage. The heated towel rail is not working which makes the bathroom chilly before and after showering- the lanes for driving can be dangerous and are not for an inexperienced driver.

A great holiday home. Was nice to have some luxury and be so comfortable. Our dog also loved it although we had him on a camping spike and wire lead in the garden as hes a Houdini and could have jumped the fence. Would be fine with smaller or dogs who dont roam. Was a luxury watching tv while in the bath and wed love to stay again.

The property was amazing - huge for just the two of us and the dogs loved having so much space to sprawl out.
